adidas Harden Vol. 2

adidas Harden Volume 2 signature shoe, designed for the NBA's super star and all-star player, James Harden, is an evolution of his first shoe which focuses on his amazing speed and foot work on the court.

Gas, brake, cook. James Harden freezes defenders with his signature mix of Euro steps, hesitations and lightning-quick crossovers. These basketball shoes are built to create separation from opponents and get buckets with Harden's go-to style. The fractal traction pattern outsole uses pressure maps of his feet which allows for quick start and stop movements, while the stitched fiber upper provides lightweight support as you change direction on a dime. The sock-like construction and custom lacing offer a personalized fit for a game as unique as the Houston Rockets guard.

This colorways brings the story to life that James wanted to tell in Vol 2. Fun, creative, carefree, an inspiration to the kids.

Enfuse

For millennia people have enjoyed tea all over the world, creating myriad combinations of leaves, flowers, spices, and sweeteners. To this day the preparation and sharing of tea remains central to the social, religious and dietary culture of countries on every continent. Today's tea drinkers are forever on the hunt for new blends to satisfy their guests' tastes, as well as the changes in their own. Sweeter? Stronger? More bitter? Fruitier? Milk? Creamer? As any barista can attest, we all take our tea a different way!

Enfuse is an ingenious flask that helps you make tea to your taste. Each Enfuse houses four separate compartments that can be filled with just about anything, allowing you to craft a custom blend every time you crave a cup! With a push of a button your Enfuse will release half a teaspoon of your chosen ingredient into the container below. The flavors, milk and sugar will dissolve as they pass through the spout, giving you the perfect cup every time, no stirring required. No mess, no effort, no need to stick to just one type of tea! Enfuse is the fun, intelligent solution for the discerning tea drinker.

The design language behind Enfuse, was to keep it minimal, vintage, and futuristic. The idea was to give it it's vintage look through its overall shape and profile, and give it its futuristic look to contrast it, with the choice of material, which is a beautiful clear material that allows you to see inside the flask, and make your tea drinking experience more enjoyable.

nThree

nThree challenge. Small electric cars, tricycles and quadricycles all suffer from the same inherent drawback; they are meant to be cheap and affordable but they end up being expensive like real cars because they are BUILT like real cars. The mission on the nThree was to address these conceptual and design shortcomings and design an affordable, single-seat electric vehicle that would offer all (or most) of the comforts of an electric car at the cost of an e-bike.

To achieve the objectives, the nThree was built with a simplistic approach reminiscent on the nCycle. The vehicle was reduced to the most essential stable geometry of three wheels to reduce cost, and takes a close look at nature to mimic the the structure of a Toucan birds beak for better strength and lightweight.

nCycle

The nCycle, the revolutionary e-bike that started as a concept project by two designers.

Two years laters, the project has turned into a real working prototype and been displayed at one of the biggest Bicycle Exhibitions in the world, the EuroBike 2014.

Ninja Turtle Shoes

A fun concept project that was inspired by designing a shoe that fits the Ninja Turtles. This project is not intended to be a design of a real shoe, but a case study of what it would look like to design for non-humans, and in this case, the Ninja Turtles.

The shoe's ergonomic design allows for ultimate comfort while it fits their 2 large fingers which is how their feet anatomy looks like. The patterns on the shoe are also inspired by hexagons from turtle shells, with small holes for ventilation to allow for better breathability. The interesting thing is that turtles actually absorb oxygen through their skin, and we try to mimic the same concept here, to give the shoe a lot of context and meaning behind its design.

The ribbon is a design element taken from one of the Ninjas, Raphael, who has it as a mask tied around his eyes and head in the cartoon series. Finally the colors and patterns also take their que from turtles, the bright green from the shells, and the black camouflage pattern from the fact that they can hide inside their shells.

This project was a collaboration between myself and Quintin Williams.

Nike Kobe Fade to Black Shoebox

I was commissioned by Nike Basketball, to design the shoe box for the Kobe Bryant Fade to Black Series.

This was a special and limited edition tribute from Nike to Kobe Bryant for his retirement. Nike recreated all 13 shoes they had designed for Kobe during his career, with each shoe fading from white to black. The box features snake scales made out of stones, following the same color theme of fading from white to black.

Nike Vault

The BriefExplore new ways to tell Nike Innovation stories within a retail space.

The SolutionMy idea is a result of many explorations and going back and forth between different ideas. The Nike Vault is a way of telling people how Nike has always been about innovation company, and still is by thinking ahead to shape the future with more innovative ideas. The Nike Vault works within the framework of Attract/Engage/Connect, by having a sealed vault placed in the store, with a release date on it to spark the curiosity of the consumer and create some hype to what is to be revealed.

The best state to educate people is when they are mostly curious and excited about something. Based on that philosophy, next to the vault will also be other free-standing tubes holding the existing and past innovation stories, as a way to educate and tell the story. Each tube’s interior will be based on the inspiration behind the innovation, for example the Lunar will be Rock’s from the moon and a moon feeling, with a story line on top of the glass.

NIKE Shoes of Paradise

I was contracted by NIKE Basketball to design a floral seamless pattern made out of tropical plants which would be used on different signature shoes and other apparel for their star athletes, Lebron James, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant. The pattern was created using 3D Max, and then retouched and enhanced in Photoshop where it was prepared to work as a seamless pattern.

Xtreme Kinematix

The Xtreme KinematiX is a new generation electric roadster, aimed at pushing both performance and power efficiency to a new level. This concept tries to revive the glorious design lines of the original Jaguar e-type, combining fresh solutions, a unique, new aerodynamics, tailored around the electrical elements of the power system as well as cutting-edge energy feedback.

Astrum Meera

Astrum Meera concept car.Designed in 2009.

The Astrum Meera is a proposed concept car possessing several distinctive features that play a unique role in safety, sustainability, and practical design. The exhaust of the car has built-in sensors that track the level of CO2 emissions and alert the driver when it exceeds the normal range. The wheel rims work through magnetic levitation, like train wheels, making the car lighter and faster. The side mirrors are hidden when parked and roll out of the body once the engine starts. The mirrors have a built-in camera system that allows the driver to clearly see outside from inside the vehicle without opening windows in the rain or turning their head around.

Project 365

As part of my process as a designer to challenge my self on a daily basis to be creative, I set a goal to create a series of abstract, futuristic, and modern 3D Art where I had to come up with something interesting and visually appealing to the eyes in a very short amount of time everyday, hence the name Project 365.

Here are the best pieces of work out of the series from every month.

Nike Innovation Figures

This was a personal side project I worked on for fun during my internship at Nike in 2012. The idea was to create different figures that embody Nike innovations in a fun way. Each figure comes with its own giveaway foldable timeline, which shows all the different Nike innovations throughout the years, as well as telling the story of that one innovation figure it comes with. My intention was to preserve Nike’s history by making each of its innovations something to be remembered by the public.

Although I did have an intention in mind of why these where made, I enjoy fiddling with some side projects at times to keep the creativity and fun going, which could eventually feed into the bigger projects I am working on.

The four characters are: The Innovation Kitchen, Waffle, Free, Knit.

Z E R O

Character design, from ideas to final 3D for a new online food ordering brand called Ztaat.

The idea of the character is to make it look like a futuristic robot, with a time machine in its head, which allows it to deliver food to customers at ultimate speed.

Tools: Copic Multiliner + Markers, 3D Max, Vray, Photoshop.

M O N K

Toy Design.

Whisk Heads

Approach:

In this project I was exploring fun and functional ideas that could fit within a Kitchen & Bathroom product line.

All cooking utensils tend to be approximately the same size, having the handle being the common part. My idea is that we create a standard handle, allowing the different heads to attach to it and be interchangeable, to better save space and reduce cost.

The product will include:- 3 utensil heads- handle

Price range: ~$18

Toy Design

This project involved creating 6 character models which was later turned into commercial toy figures by the client, Negramaro.

FIFA '15

FIFA 15's primary theme revolves around connections. It focuses on the concept that all elements are formed and rooted from the Pitch and speaks to the physical and emotional connections to the Sport. FIFA is the center of the footballing world, and everything revolves around and evolves from it; it is the Core of the Sport. It connects the players to the pitch, fans to the players and it’s gamers to each other. It is the lifeblood of the sport and game.

My involvement in this project, was working along the UI team and specifically working on the score clock and menu elements for the general Fifa game, the different tournaments available, and the EPL (English Premier League). I was also involved in working on the different menu pages for Fifa 15 such as the pause menu's, online menus, and in-game menus, along with sourcing and retouching the images used in the menus.

Type Fluid Experiment

“Type Fluid” is an exciting experimentation with typography, and making letter forms out of bursting liquid. This project includes all 26 letters of the alphabet as well as animated versions of the letters. The type fluid has been vastly featured on different blogs, magazines, and books.

The Ultimate Powerup

The brief was to create something to show the speed of their new routers and broadband packages.

The result was the Turbo Broadband with unlimited speed, and ultimate power.

Nike SuperFly Launch Campaign

Launch campaign of the Nike Mercurial SuperFly.

Inspired by the world's best player, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nike's fastest boot ever has arrived. I worked on the early stages of this ad with the Nike Football in-house design team. Exploring the idea of having different objects exploded by the speed of the boots, and creating the early story boards of this concept. I visualized the shattering of the objects using 3D Max and RayFire, and post production work was in Photoshop. The final animation was then created by Man vs Machine.

I worked on this great project with the Nike Basketball Team during my design internship at Nike World Headquarters. My role was to design the graphic experience of the shoe and the splash patterns that cover it, the process involved creating 3D simulation of the shoe going through a puddle, and then translating the results of the 3D generated splash into a 2D vector that was placed on the shoe.

YaSalam!

YaSalam is a new fancy Shawarma joint that opened in Bahrain in late 2011. It is fun but not too funky, and fancy but not too classy. We worked with them on building their brand, which involved the identity, menu, website, print ads and other ideas such as implementing the brand, message and story through a set of characters.

Team Rose

Official website of Derrick Rose, the number 1 draft pick of the Chicago Bulls in 2008.

The problem I was trying to solve with this website was to create a much better UI/UX, where a lot of the important content can be displayed in a nice way, with live updates to the news feed. The social media tabs was also a new introduction to create more interaction between the users and the website.
